Benchmarking

How does your operation compare to others within the group? How does it compare to the best in the world? How could you improve your operating practices and what is the ‘prize’ for doing so?


Benchmarking Service

Familiarity with a lot of different operations has enabled us to build up a comprehensive benchmarking system that allows us to assess your operation and ensure that "best practice" elements are in place. This process ensures that we highlight existing good practices and acknowledge them and then also identify areas that are either missing or are in some way not fully functioning.

Deliverables

A detailed, easy to understand report that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the business against best practice standards.

Clearly identified, realistic opportunities for business and productivity improvement.



Methodology

First, we work with you to determine the benchmark most applicable to your business. Then we systematically work through your business, thoroughly digging into it to find out how it is actually performing.

Carrying out this review lets you know how your operations rate against best practice standards and often highlights issues within the business that are of critical importance that may have gone unnoticed to date.

The recommendations made are generally for operational improvement through better practices and organisation, not just recommendations for capital expenditure as a solution to all problems.

Areas reviewed generally include safety, management and administration, environment, planning, maintenance, geology, mine planning, drill and blast, load and haul, crushing and screening, sales loading and despatch.
